Vedanta suspends $2.5B steel business sale after share sale alleviates financial pressure.

Vedanta Ltd., an Indian conglomerate, has suspended its plan to sell its steel business for $2.5 billion after a $1 billion share sale alleviated financial pressure. The company's net debt was $7.3 billion as of June, and its steel business's saleable production increased by 10% year-on-year. Environmental and regulatory concerns have deterred potential bidders, but the company may revisit the sale in the future.
